Hello everyone. Talking franchises. Not the single games. Was thinking of how universally epic both the silent hill 2 remaster and RE 1-4 remasters have been. And was wondering who would win in the survival horror duel? Then felt a strong disturbance in the force. Another survival horror games comes from the confines of Nintendo's loins to battle two PS1 era juggernaut franchises. With 3 entries. Has he done enough? Resident Evil Perhaps the most important for the genre. The founding father if you will. A game very critically loved. Filled with amemorable characters (Jill) and spin offs (racoon city) its a dark iconic symphony of horror emotions blended into a good story. SILENT HILL Perhaps even more psychological in the psychological horror elements. A bit less RPG but a lot more puzzley and story driven. A franchise with 3 solid entires spanning multiple decades and tons of creative spin offs. Luigis Mansion A big hitter in a whole different field. An underground. Has less entries and less time in the game than the other 2. Is also more cartoony. Easier. Less gorey and all around disadvantaged plot wise. But makes up for it the way Nintendo always knows how. Fun factor. Mario character fondness. And just sweet delicious level design. TLOU Story driven excellence by naughty dog. Only 2 entires compared to a good 2 dozen among the other 3 franchises. But these stories have won countless praise. A 96 on meta critic. And a show spin off that is emmy award nominated. It spans all of our collective hearts. We all know what we felt the first time we felt Sarah fall into Joels arms. LM - The cartoony Sleeper Pick TLOU - the industry titan playable movie RE - The OG and the trend setter SH - the spooky brain twister Which of these 4 survival horror franchises is the survival horror king? You can only keep one. |

I've always been an admirer of lovecraftian designs of abominations and creatures, so I def go with Silent Hill! Imo, even the movie adaptions left a bigger impression than the RE movies (though they're good)... |

A more interesting topic about survival horror specifically would have been comparing the former two options alongside Alone in the Dark (the series most popularly recognized as the introduction to the genre but certainly not the first title ever), Fatal Frame, or Clock Tower. With that said, Silent Hill is easily my preferred franchise for P.T. alone, though I've not yet played Resident Evil games while instead only spectating. |

That's a hard one! Resident Evil and Silent Hill are two of my favourites. I guess if I could only keep one I would go with Silent Hill. |

Resident Evil, no question. I'm not a fan of all the games in the series, but I'd say 80% of them I either really enjoy or I absolutely love them. I enjoy Silent Hill, at least the ones I've played, but to my understanding, the series is essentially the first three are great, 4 is good depending on who you ask, and then the rest range from wildly mediocre to complete trash. Giving up Silent Hill 2 would absolutely pain me though, just saying. TLOU is an amazing game, and while it has some fairly annoying narrative issues, I am actually one of the people that liked TLOU2. However, neither the first game with how well made it is, or the best parts of Part 2 can hold a candle to RE for me. I've never played a Luigi's Mansion game so I can't really judge them. However, I will say I'm still somewhat bitter that Luigi's Mansion was Nintendo's follow up to Super Mario 64, and not a game that felt like more of a direct sequel. I have a hard time saying Sunshine is a sequel, even though it technically is. I really don't think a proper successor happened with Super Mario 64 until Super Mario Galaxy. |
